Salad Dressing Shaker For Us: Ever since having my mom’s homemade dressings, I can not have a salad without a homemade dressing (see my Honey Sriracha Vinaigrette post). This measuring shaker comes in handy for measuring the liquid ingredients as well as storing the dressing for the week on the counter or in the fridge.Continue reading “The Thursday Three – February 20”
Honey Sriracha Vinaigrette
This dressing is a MoJo household staple. I always have a container ready for a quick side salad or even an entree salad that my husband and I have at least once a week (I’ll share that salad below). If you might be scared away by the thought of a spicy dressing, you can certainlyContinue reading “Honey Sriracha Vinaigrette”

Valentines Day Edition Tomorrow marks what some might criticize as the “Hallmark” holiday, and although my expectations are low from my husband (he hates the holiday), and we don’t go all out, I certainly love to celebrate any holiday spoiling and decking my boys out. After I picked my Valentines Three, I realized they allContinue reading “The Thursday Three – February 13”

Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo For Teens: As a high school English teacher, I do read Young Adult literature frequently to be able to recommend novels to my students. I originally picked this book up after Elizabeth Acevedo committed to come to our school, but a snow day cancelled that plan unfortunately. Although we wereContinue reading “The Thursday Three – January 23”

Silpat Premium Non-Stick Silicone Baking Mat For the Fam: This non-stick baking mat is a lifesaver! I registered for two of these when I got married 5 years ago and have used them since. It is about time to replace, but I know the $20 is well worth the money. I save time on sprayingContinue reading “The Thursday Three – January 16”

1. FOR ME: As a high school English teacher, I have been on an unfortunate drought of reading for my own pleasure. I brought this book to my English department white elephant exchange (so did someone else) and ended up trading up for my own book (Where The Crawdads Sing) in the end to readContinue reading “The Thursday Three – January 9”
Another Shot.
Well, here I go again. This is only about the fourth or fifth blog I started in the last decade. From a running blog tracking my marathon training to a teaching a blog to track my first year of teaching; oh yes, I also attempted to write something motivation/thought-provoking in another blog. So here isContinue reading “Another Shot.”
